Muse magazine gift card8/19/2023 ![]() ![]() I’m not alone in my fascination with scorpions. His description brought to mind what it’s like for me in the presence of my family, how excruciatingly sensitive we all are to the subtlest emotional disturbances in one another. But he’s also observing how exquisitely sensitive scorpions are. He’s describing his own predation, of course. ![]() “They can register the movement of a single grain of sand from ten yards away,” he tells Lorena. Yet this illumination-the act of becoming visible-has terrible consequences for her and her undocumented relatives.īy the time I finished drafting the novel, I had come to see scorpions in a manner I never expected: as animals who offer a powerful reflection of the human arrangement.Īt one point, Marcus notes that scorpions hunt by using the tiny hairs along their legs as sensory devices. She is set aglow by the attention that Marcus lavishes upon her. Lorena operates like a scorpion, in her own way. Like the animals that fascinate him, Marcus Stallworth is a predator who regards himself as prey, a creature whose shy manner conceals his aggressive impulses. The more I learned about scorpions, the more central they became to my understanding of both characters, as well as the nature of their troubling relationship. As they discuss potential experiments to test it, the two develop a powerful and increasingly illicit bond. Marcus is struck by the elegance of this theory. The glow researchers used to find them was, in fact, intended to help them hide.” Because the animal uses its exoskeleton to detect light, the moment it stops glowing, she believes, a scorpion knows it has found shelter from predators overhead. She eventually hypothesizes that the scorpion’s fluorescence “was a protective mechanism, a kind of alarm system. Instead, she races to the library and reads everything she can find about scorpions. The book is set in 1981, so there is no Internet to scour. Before long, the mystery of the scorpion’s glow consumes her. She’s voraciously curious and eager for the regard Marcus directs at her. The scene I’d experienced as a cub reporter suddenly leaped into the novel.īut unlike me, Lorena Saenz has a brilliant scientific mind. Jenny’s father, Marcus, is a research zoologist who is tasked with helping the girls.Īs I pondered how he might do this, it suddenly came to me: Marcus was a scorpiologist! He would help the girls by taking them out into the desert and showing them how scorpions glow. It certainly wasn’t my conscious intention.Įarly in the book, my heroine, a Honduran American girl named Lorena Saenz, is paired with a wealthy classmate named Jenny Stallworth for the eighth grade science fair. In fact, it would end up as the engine of my plot. Three decades later, when I sat down to write my new novel, All the Secrets of the World, I found the mystery had lingered. Surely, the scientific community had figured out why these nocturnal animals exhibited such a striking trait. Scorpions had been roaming Earth for more than 400 million years. But I wanted to know why scorpions glow, what evolutionary advantage this garish trait bestowed. The scientists began to detail the mechanisms of this fluorescence, how the animal’s cuticle, or exoskeleton, absorbs longer wavelengths of ultraviolet light. What I remember most vividly from that night was asking a simple question: “What’s with the glow?” ![]() I remember this detail, in particular, because I would later share the back seat of their research vehicle with approximately a hundred such specimens, all of them thrashing against their plastic prisons. The scorpiologists immediately began plucking up specimens with slender silver tongs and placing them in small, clear canisters. It took me a few seconds to figure it out: these were the scorpions we’d come to see. All of a sudden, I saw dozens of tiny, glow-in-the-dark toys that began to move. Beams of ultraviolet light washed across the sand. One of them lugged a giant metal lamp, which he set down on a small rise. They strapped snake chaps onto my legs and led me to an empty clearing. One of my first assignments as a young reporter at the El Paso Times was to follow a couple of scorpion experts into the desert after dark. ![]() Giant ball gag8/19/2023 ![]() The reverberation of your voice can be very exciting. You're deliberately blocking your ability to speak and stretching your body for your lover's pleasure (and yours!). You'll notice that your mouth is in a position that's probably unfamiliar. Softer gags allow your teeth to press into them comfortably. The smaller ones will rest between your lips. How your mouth gag feels will depend on its size. This happens because your saliva pools while you wear the gag. With others, you'll rely more on nose breathing.īe aware that you will probably drool. Some bondage gags have holes in them to make breathing easier. Larger balls will stretch the mouth more and muffle sound better. The smaller the ball, the easier it will be to wear. The size of the ball varies depending on the gag. The idea is to be comfortable enough that you can still breathe, but sound cannot escape. The gag part goes inside the wearer’s mouth while the straps are fastened behind their head. Putting one on is a sign that you completely trust the person you’re obeying. They have to rely on other forms of communication. The person wearing it allows themselves to give up their ability to talk. As part of a bondage or BDSM session, gag balls can signify a new level of submission. Keep reading to learn about this exciting form of erotic restraint.Ī ball gag (also called a gag ball) is a rounded ball that goes in a person’s mouth as part of bondage or BDSM play to restrict their ability to talk.

The rights to Prey passed on to Bethesda Softworks, who released an unrelated game of the same name, developed by Arkane Studios, in 2017. Prey was a commercial success, selling more than one million copies in the first two months of its release and leading to the abortive development of its sequel Prey 2. ![]() The game received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its graphics and gameplay but criticizing its multiplayer component for a lack of content. While the general approach to gameplay, including the use of portals, remained in the game, the story and setting changed several times. Prey had been in development in one form or another since 1995, and has had several major revisions. Tommy's Cherokee heritage allows him to let his spirit roam freely at times and come back to life after dying, which gives Tommy an edge in his battle against the Sphere. ![]() The game's story is focused on Cherokee Domasi "Tommy" Tawodi as he, his girlfriend, and grandfather are abducted aboard an alien spaceship known as The Sphere as it consumes material, both inanimate and living, from Earth in order to sustain itself. Prey uses a heavily modified version of id Tech 4 to use portals and variable gravity to create the environments the player explores. The game was initially released in North America and Europe on July 11, 2006. Prey is a first-person shooter video game developed by Human Head Studios, under contract for 3D Realms, and published by 2K Games, while the Xbox 360 version was ported by Venom Games. ![]() Floating shelf hardware diy8/19/2023 ![]() ![]() In our case, the studs were located in such a way that we needed to place our turnbuckle hardware 8 inches from the end of the board. They must be anchored firmly on to the wall or they will fall off it! To prevent that disaster from happening, use a stud finder to locate the studs on the wall and mark where they are. Measure your space and find the wall studs first:īefore any drilling begins, first plan out where you want to hang your shelves.

The decorative hooks are often in a different location than the “industrial looking” hooks. The big hooks were often in different places in the hardware stores depending on the style that they were. ![]() We ended up finding the turnbuckle hardware pieces in our local hardware stores in the section where cabinet handles and basic shelf brackets were. It’s often a maze trying to locate specialty items like these.
Tekken tag tournament 2 ps38/19/2023 ![]() These changes, however, are purely aesthetic and don’t actually affect your characters ability.ĭestructive environments feature, but again, they primarily serve as eye candy rather than something that could be exploited to a tactical advantage.įrame rate is fluid throughout but there can be some slow down during online battles. To ensure players won’t get bored with their appearance, character customisation allows you to change and accessorise each character with different hairstyles and attire. Character design is a little obscure at times, but most of the fifty fighters available are impressively rendered. Graphically, the game is colourful and the frame rate holds up well. ![]() Tag Throws return from the first game, while Tag Assaults – where players join up and unleash a devastating combination, feature too. There are a number of modes, including one on one, one on two, two on two battles and Pair Play – which allows each player to take control of a character and swap in when needed.īrutal: Fans will be pleased that the gameplay remains true to the series This results in combat with even more emphasis on juggley, combo-orientated action, reminiscent of the recent Marvel Vs Capcom games. With regards to TTT2’s main mode, it’s immediately obvious that it's still the same recipe fans know and love, but has been slightly more refined. This adds a level of frustration to what is otherwise an entertaining set of lessons. You are forced to persevere at a mission until it’s completed with very little help. However, it's very much a 'trial by fire' approach. This glorified tutorial is a welcome addition for first-time players, and given time, allows even the least experienced fight fans to head into the other modes with confidence. Here, you take control of a Combot and are guided through a series of combos and takedowns. ![]() This is primarily achieved via the Fight Lab - which replaces the 'story' mode. Step in the right direction: Tekken has been more accessible through Fight Labīut interestingly, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 tries to address both concerns - providing a step-by-step guide into how to play which results in a deep fighting experience more accessible than ever before. ![]() ![]() ![]() Recovering your own password is a different story. Although it should be noted that there is always room for foolishly easy passwords that might be found in a dictionary. Especially when there is no high-performance hardware. In this context, it becomes next to impossible to crack a random someone else's password that is completely unknown to the attacker. Hence, the rate of brute-force search has almost dropped to zero, and GPU acceleration has become useless. For example, with the release of iOS 10.2 by Apple has ruled out the possibility of cracking iOS backup passwords by using 10,000,000 (ten million!) hashing iterations. One moment delay when checking one password turns into years of waiting when checking billions of passwords. This trick is called key stretching it is an easy way to make brute force search more time consuming by requiring repeated hashing. hundreds, thousands and even tens of thousands times. That is why the hashing algorithm does not immediately release the encryption key. (the guys behind protection algorithms in Adobe Acrobat 9 should know what it's all about :) When you enter a password, a special algorithm called hashing algorithm converts the password into an encryption key, and passes the key on to the data encryption algorithm. More often than not, the delay will go unnoticed (or it may leave a positive impression: "it is taking so much time - the security level must be really high!") when you enter one correct password, but it does slow down the speed of searching during a brute force attack. Remember I said that data security vendors use their own methods to deal with password hacking attacks? For example, they slow down the rate of password checking. Now that we have covered passwords settings and the range of trial passwords, it is time to crack the password. ![]() As you change input parameters, the program estimates in real time the number of generated passwords and approximate time to completion. Our programs give perfect visualization of these calculations when you configure a brute force attack. 3-character password – 26^3=17576, etc.Ĭracking a 1-character password of uppercase and lowercase Latin letters will require testing of 26*2=52^1=52 passwords, and in order to crack a 3-character password 52^3=140608 passwords will be generated and tested, etc. So, in order to guess a password of only 1 lowercase Latin letter 26^1=26 trial passwords will be generated. Number_of_passwords = charset_length^password_length As the password length is increased, the number of trial passwords will grow exponentially, for example: The longer the charset that may include the right password is, the more trial passwords there will be. How long you'll have to wait depends on two factors: the number of words to test and the speed of brute-force attack. Such a guessing technique is referred to as brute-force attack. Only in this case a program does it for you at a rate of tens-hundreds-thousands-millions-billions of passwords per second. It is as if you were actually entering all trial passwords one by one until you find the one that fits to open the file. To date when breaking secure passwords, one uses password guessing attacks. What's the Difference?ĭenis Gladysh, co-owner and head of Passcovery, a supplier of high-speed GPU-accelerated software solutions for recovering passwords of popular file formats We've also featured the best password recovery solutions. Each new password comes with a unique QR code so you can transfer it to a phone or tablet as required. Choices include alpha upper (A–Z), alpha lower (a–z), numbers (0-9), and symbols. In addition, you can specify what type of characters you want your password to include. During our testing, we were able to easily generate a random string up to a million characters long in a matter of seconds-not that you would ever need one of this length. In theory, you can create passwords that are as long as you want. On top of this, the Strong Password Generator allows you to specify the length and composition of your new login. All new passwords are created locally on your computer, which means they aren’t ever stored online or on the program’s servers. This simple yet secure online program is designed to create unbreakable passwords at the click of a button. With the Strong Password Generator, the name says it all. ![]() Crystal tree of life8/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Like our planet, the tree in its out-picturing of higher consciousness gives of its fruits as we then will give our service to the evolving consciousness of humanity.
